, which will run the latest
Android 2.2 OS, will also be the carrier's first phone with video chat
capability, which can be delivered via Wi-Fi and the carrier's 3G and 4G
networks. The phone will be available in time for the holidays exclusively
through T-Mobile in white, black, plum or red. Pricing wasn't announced.

The HTC-made MyTouch will join
the carrier's HTC-made G2, an Android 2.2 phone that will be the carrier's
first HSPA+ phone when it becomes available Oct. 6 through T-Mobile channels at
$199 after $50 mail-in rebate. The G2 has also been advertised by online
retailer Wirefly at a preorder price of $149. T-Mobile also offers two other
HSPA+ products, both of which are laptop sticks.

For the video chat capability,
the new phone features front-facing video camera and QIK video chat client,
which enables live video chatting with other MyTouch phones, with other
QIK-equipped phones such as a 4G model from Sprint, and with PCs loaded with
QIK software.

The new phone also includes three
exclusive MyTouch features. One is a Genius Button, which lets customers call,
text, email or access the internet via a simple voice command. Faves Gallery
offers shortcuts to most-contacted family and friends. And MyModes creates

For its part, the G2 phone
features touchscreen, hinged QWERTY keyboard and an 800MHz processor.

Both phones support Adobe Flash.

HSPA+ technology delivers theoretical peak
data speeds up to 21Mbps, compared with 7.2Mbps on the carrier's 7.2Mbps HSPA
network. The company noted, however, that 16 of its HSPA-equipped 3G phones get

3G phones have the potential to double their peak theoretical speeds to
14.4Mbps in HSPA+ markets, depending on their processing power, the
